[edit] USA missing

Why isn't the USA on this list?

Same reason France isn't.. there wasn't any data available for these countries on the source used. If you know of a source where info the USA is, by all means add it in and reference is accordingly. Bungle44 11:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] United Kingdom

After 2013 there will be age differences in the UK Nations. Scotland will be 16, Wales will remain at 16 and England will be 18. The Scottish parliament and the National Assembly for Wales have said they will not change the school leaving age to 18. Please try and note this on this article about the changes in the U.K. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.221.164 (talk) 13:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good source

A good reference source for this is the United States' Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, it is publicly available in English on US State Department website. (direct link). ---- Voidvector (talk) 16:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistencies

There are inconsistencies between this page and the page on the raising of the school leaving age (e.g. Germany - 16 or 18?) References should be provided for all the ages listed here on this page.
